Interesting Premise but most of it falls apart when you realise that much of the shares in all these conglomerations are owned by Fund Managers representing Mutual Funds of the various types. Almost all these Fund Managers are American. They actually sit on the boards of many corporatons but hold huge influence even if they don't have a seat on the board. I cannot see all these differing intrests co-operating on a message that would be mutually benifical. It is Institutional messaging from within and not directed. It is the Instituionality of the message that needs to be addressed. These messages are just acepted with out though or investigation to validity. We need to get over blind acceptance of anything except in matters of faith.
I am a Big Fan of almost anything with Alan Rickman in it. He makes bad guys that are FUN.
I actually beleive that laughing at him is the final victory. We can keep the two alive at once. When history fades even further the only reference to Hitler will be a punchline.
One of my favorite flicks. Last gunfight is classic.
First I would like to say that this trailer was very well produced. It made me want to watch the Documentary which is the reason for a trailer in the first place. Who cares if someone else did a documentary? The person who used tokenism is playing into the hands of liberals, it is smart to have African/Americans front and center to counter the misinformation being spread around by the MSM. Don't go off the deep end, it does no one any good, especially if you do not swim so well.
There always has to be a boogy man and Fox News is just the lefts current one. If I remember correctly Clinton at the time blamed Rush Limbaugh for this. It was the reason that Limbaugh was invited by the incoming Freshmen Congressmen to the hill, just to rub it in. Riech knows this very well and I cannot believe it was just a slip. Maybe more of a Freudian Slip.
It is the well meaning idiots that are the worse. The True Believer if you will. While I admire their sincerity I am overwhelmed by their ignorance of basic concepts. They do not even have a clue how it is them that are the ones being Manipulated for someone elses less than honest design. Hugo Chavez uses these tools to prop up his own popularityy and at the same time is guilty of the worse kinds of injustice. Please spare me from well meaning idiots, it is far easier to deal with a true despot than them.
Everytime the Government has tried to address this problem they have made it worse. That is what the Supreme Court Decision really tried to address with over tirning part of McCain / Fiengold last week. We have a long way to go to actually clean things up. The more simple you can make Campaign Finance Laws and the Tax Code regarding Groups in the Political Process the better off all of us will be.
I do not agree with Rock The Vote but I think if they want to say something thy have every right. I just think that an opposing view should have the same rights to disagree and with the current state of tax codes and finance laws the system is rigged.
Look I think ROck the Vote is just shilling for thier Liberal or Democratic ideas, so what. One of the probelms is that we have over complicated the political process so much that one side shouts at the other about how Corporations or name that group contaminate the political process. We need simplification and easy to understand rules to operate under not more complications and subtrfuge. If there was less complications then Rock the Vote could claim what they really are but because of our overly complicated system we have many unintended consequences.
Just try running for office sometime and you will step into a minefield where it is impossible not to violate some rule or other because manyy rules contradict each other and are enforced by differnt agencies. The result of this is less qualified candidates and more corruption.
Then he should have made most if not all the mercinaries either not former military or they could have been dishonerably discharged or something. I will take him at his word and give him the benifit of the doubt but he did not pull it off. It is probably a good movie in the sense that it does big box office but the script writing is simplistic and ham fisted. Cameron is a good director but not a good screen writer and Cameron is too full of himself to realize that.
